High-class Spring Joy

Chu Jingxian remained silent for a long time, still not saying a word.

Qinghe didn't ask any more questions, nor did she press him. If the Third Young Master didn't want to talk about something, you couldn't force him to reveal it.

Qinghe simply let Chu Jingxian hold her tightly.

After a while, Chu Jingxian seemed to have finally recovered. When he spoke, his voice was still a little hoarse, showing that he had been overwhelmed with emotion: "That's good."

Qinghe was completely confused, and didn't know whether she should ask the Third Young Master at this time. Even if she did ask, he might not tell her. Just then, the person next to her couldn't help but cough twice.

Qinghe then noticed that there were two other people standing beside her, and even a strangely dressed man in black kneeling on the ground who didn't look like a good person.

Under the somewhat confused gaze of Chen Sha and the somewhat scornful look of Sai Huatuo, Qinghe subconsciously stepped back and pushed Chu Jingxian away.

"Dr. Sai, what are you doing here? And what happened?"

Qinghe vaguely sensed that something was wrong and felt that it was related to her.

Chu Jingxian was pushed away, a flicker of sadness crossing his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and asked, "Did you do anything wrong just now, or feel uncomfortable in any way?"

Qinghe didn't know why Chu Jingxian asked that: "I was sleeping just now, and there was nothing wrong with me, but the dreams I had today seemed rather strange."

Upon hearing this, Sai Huatuo, who was standing nearby, immediately leaned in and asked, "What's strange?"

Qinghe didn't notice anything wrong, at least not Sai Huatuo's tone. After all, Sai Huatuo was a doctor, and doctors are more curious than ordinary people and need to be more careful in order to diagnose illnesses that ordinary people can't.

"This dream felt exceptionally long and intense. At times, it felt so real that I couldn't tell if I was in a dream or in reality."

As Qinghe spoke, the dreams she had the night before kept replaying in her mind. Everything flashed by in her mind like a fleeting glimpse.

"And now I can remember exactly what happened in my dream. In the past, although I dreamed, I would either forget those dreams quickly the next day, or I would remember some of them, but I would forget many details in the blink of an eye, until I forgot them all."

The more Qinghe thought about it, the more real her dreams seemed. The people and names were as if they were real, not just existing in her dreams. It was as if, at some time and in some place in the world, something like what happened in her dreams must have happened. The people in her dreams seemed to have been famous before, and not a single word of their words or actions felt fake to her.

This feeling made Qinghe even more confused and uneasy. If it really happened, then what role did she play in it?

Was it just like what she dreamt of? Such deep hatred, such intense emotions, such profound injustice, such a heavy blood debt?

Qinghe was confused, but at the same time, she remembered something else. She remembered the person who was disguised as an old woman in the snow mountain.

While sleeping in a small cabin in the snow, Qinghe had a dream. The dream felt very real and she could remember it. It seemed to be related to herself and the Third Young Master.

The dream was about that night, about her and the Third Young Master, and it seemed to be a similar yet completely different possibility.

Qinghe didn't know why she felt so immersed in a dream, and even now that she's awake, she still feels a bit uneasy and confused.

It was as if, as if she had truly lived through those dreams.

Qinghe's head was getting more and more throbbing. She felt like her mind had just cleared up, but now it was becoming increasingly blurry again.

A slightly cool touch came from her arm. Seeing this, Hua Tuo immediately came over to take Qinghe's pulse and check her condition.

Sai Huatuo didn't ask any more questions or say anything more. Instead, he decisively took out a small bottle of pills from his small wooden medicine box, put a few pills in Qinghe's palm, and said, "Water."

Chen Sha immediately poured a glass of water and handed it to Qing He.

In this situation, the most important thing to do is to follow the doctor's advice.

Chu Jingxian stood to the side, his gaze calmly fixed on the man in black on the ground, thinking that he would be able to see him again at night.

However, if someone looked closely, they could see that Chu Jingxian's eyes were bloodshot.

"Take Chensha with you."

Chu Jingxian only said this one sentence and glanced at Chen Sha, and Chen Sha understood Chu Jingxian's meaning and took the man in black away.

As Chu Jingxian's gaze fell upon her, Sai Huatuo spoke up at the opportune moment: "I have already given Qinghe her medicine, and I also gave her acupuncture before she woke up. I just observed her pulse, and I believe there shouldn't be any major problems with her health. However, it is very likely that Qinghe was slightly frightened after just emerging from her dream, and she is still unsettled. I hope you will take good care of her, young master."

"Go down."

After Chu Jingxian finished speaking, Sai Huatuo picked up his small wooden medicine box and left.

Hearing the implication in Sai Huatuo's words—the acupuncture and medicine—Qinghe realized that his dream was likely more than just a normal dream. Coupled with the sudden appearance of the Third Young Master and his anxious expression, Qinghe suddenly felt somewhat bewildered.

Thinking back to the silent man in black who had just appeared, Qinghe seemed to have some idea that the reason why the Third Young Master was acting so strangely might be related to her. But Qinghe couldn't understand what could have happened to her. Perhaps she was too dazzling and had been targeted?

But she was just having a dream.

While Qinghe was still dazed, the Third Young Master had already arrived in front of her. Chu Jingxian's expression was as usual, as if the person Qinghe had just seen frantically pulling her into his arms was just Qinghe's illusion.

"Young master, I forgot to ask why you're here so late. Is there something you need from me?"

Qinghe asked, looking at him with some confusion. Chu Jingxian felt a little dizzy, and she couldn't help but lightly thump her head.

"Dr. Sai Huatuo and the others came because of me, right? Is it because I have some problem again?"

The third young master looked at Qinghe in front of him, and his first reaction was to notice the way Qinghe would occasionally lightly pat her head. He first reached out and gently rubbed Qinghe's temples, his movements very gentle, and his tone was also very tender:

"Yes, as for who sent them, further investigation is needed. You're currently in the eye of the storm, and those people won't let you off easily. You're relatively safe in Devil City for now, but once you return to Bianjing City, you'll likely face many times more trouble than you are now. Some people are just that heartless, only thinking about using schemes and tricks to scheme against others, even if you are innocent."

When Chu Jingxian said this, his eyes were still a little red. Unlike the expression on his face and the tone of his voice, which could be easily concealed, his expression and tone could be calmed down after a moment of calming down.

His eyes revealed his worry for Qinghe.

Even though Qinghe was still dizzy, the gentle and tender touch on her temples made her feel better than before, though not completely clear-headed.

"Why? Is it because I am just an ordinary citizen who suddenly gained status and power, and that will attract jealousy? But I earned those things through my own hard work. If they are not satisfied, they can go and experience what I went through. If they can make the same choices as me and pay the same price, then I will have nothing to say."

When Qinghe spoke, her tone was stubborn, which was rare for Chu Jingxian. He saw a sharp, defiant quality in Qinghe.

Although Chu Jingxian knew that Qinghe was definitely not a soft-hearted girl who would let others bully her, he also knew that Qinghe was an extremely resilient girl. He knew that Qinghe had her own sharpness, her own temper, and her own principles. But knowing was one thing, and seeing it with one's own eyes was another.

Like a hedgehog that had always disguised itself well, covered in layers of soft mud, after experiencing so much, the soft mud was blown away by the wind and frost, and it finally revealed its own sharpness in front of Chu Jingxian.

What's most striking is that this little girl speaks with a sharp edge, as if she has a stubborn and unwilling temper, like a girl, but her pale and pretty face is filled with confusion and bewilderment.

It's like a flower growing in the snow and ice, knowing that its growing environment is extremely harsh, striving hard, even risking its life, using every bit of its vitality to break through the thick ice layer, grow branches and buds, and finally bloom in the cold wind in the snow and ice.

Even a flower growing in the snow and ice will have its branches bent and its beautiful, vibrant petals still sticking to icicles when faced with the relentless, biting wind.

She is resilient and intelligent, undeniably.

But sometimes, being resilient and intelligent doesn't mean you won't have a vulnerable side.

What Chu Jingxian felt he was seeing now was one of the few moments of vulnerability this young girl possessed.

"Indeed, no one can make the same choice as you, and very few people can put in as much effort as you. So you got what they couldn't, and that's what you deserve. But there will always be some people in this world who are innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. They are incompetent, and they only think about reaping the benefits without sowing, so they are jealous of everyone who gets what they can't get."

Qinghe stared blankly at the Third Young Master in front of her, her gaze fixed on his face. The man's fingertips warmly massaged her temples. At this moment, it seemed that no one mentioned the words "men and women should not touch each other."

"Young master, are you trying to comfort me?"

As Qinghe spoke, her clear yet somewhat bewildered eyes stared straight at Chu Jingxian, causing Chu Jingxian's heart to skip a beat.

But just then, Chu Jingxian heard the little girl in front of him speak again:

"Actually, you don't need to comfort me, young master. I understand some of the reasons."
